Pasta Restaurants in Columbus, OH

“I buy pasta, sauce, coffee & desserts here and I’m never disappointed. My SIL is NJ Italian & a tough critic so I’m only going to serve him the best I can find. I recently tried PD’s gelato and I’m going to be eating this all summer. You can really taste the difference between grocery gelatos and the real thing.“

“From the moment we walked in, we felt like welcomed guests rather than customers. The atmosphere transported us straight to Italy, with a warmth and authenticity that set the stage for what became an extraordinary evening. Each course felt like a carefully wrapped gift, designed with intention and presented with artistry. The flavors carried unexpected complexities—layers that unfolded in ways you rarely find in restaurants around here. Every bite told a story, both comforting and refined, and left us excited for what would come next. This wasn’t just dinner—it was an experience. One that lingered long after the last course, reminding us how exceptional dining can be when passion and craft meet. Truly unforgettable. We added the 4 course wine pairing with the Pelino’s Dinner. We ended the experience with espresso, which was better than any espresso we’ve ever had (even the 3 times we’ve been to Italy). Truly a special night.“

“Came here on a Sunday evening. The branch was busy, but the team was stellar and seemed equipped to handle the rush! Every team member knew what their task was and handled the workload with ease. Friendly smiles all around, and I never saw a single staff member looking at a phone (which is rare these days). The young gentleman that worked the register and floor definitely deserves a promotion! Keep up the great work!“

“Oodles Noodle is INCREDIBLE. The owners are very kind and clearly care about their service, quality, and people. We ordered cashew chicken, peanut noodles, and potstickers. All of the portions were large and filling. The food was so fresh and the flavor was impressive. Cannot wait to go back!“

“On our visit to Columbus we stopped in to Noodles & Company. Wished we had one in our neighborhood! Really enjoyed the food. I didn't give 5 stars because the seats are really hard :-) but I guess that is to make sure you don't stick around too long. Hahaha!!“

“I enjoyed the food but the one staff member was a little timid and seemed unsure of herself. Overall a very good experience and I would definitely recommend“

“It’s possible this place is under new management for reasons that will seem obvious after you walk in and see who is running Big Tony’s. I have never eaten from here until a couple days ago though so wanted to give that disclaimer. I wanted to sit on the experience before reviewing.

First of all, fries were pretty good. There were a few that tasted like maybe they should have been left in the fryer for a little longer but overall no complaints. Second, my penne marinara was very good with good amount of melted cheese and a good portion. The last item was rather poorly made. The veggie subs I ordered were made to look more filled than they were by adding extra mayonnaise and reducing the amount of veggies inside. Every bite I took tasted mostly like bread and mayo. This appears to be a cost cutting measure which was very noticeable in both subs I ate. It’s not acceptable for the sub to be mostly bread and mayo…especially as a vegetarian, I was deprived of veggies that I desperately wanted more of…

Overall, pretty good. Being completely honest though, if you mess up fries and or marinara, penne, and melted cheese you kinda suck at being an Italian restaurant, so happy to report these guys do not suck. But, quality and measures reducing quantity in foods needs to be addressed to get 5 stars from me.“
